/me rolls on floor laughing

The comment on the life support etc. was intresting, how long this take you to wrap up?

It's a post replying to a previous post, like most replies on forums are.

well that part i got it!!

the par i didnt undrestand was if you liked/disliked something :|

#4 is missing from the legend? on the right.

otherwise it looks pretty good.

whats with the stripe red lines?

those are zones that will be developed into other map zones still now made yet

[edit]

Removed out of date screens

Not too bad, but the lighting looks like it could use some work. No real suggestions other than to try and break up monocolor rooms with small lights of a different color. That keeps the light theme of the room AND keeps the lighting of the room from being entirely uniform.

Keep up the good work.

The long hallway looks great, but imagine what skulk hell it becomes with 3-4 LMG's shooting (and maybe a shotteh or two)....

I don't have any bad points about this map (looking from the images), it looks clean and simple to play but with good detail.

Out of 10 (this part i enjoy)

Texturing 9/10
Lighting 8/10
Idea 9/10

Overall 9/10

Would like to beta test :-)

As normal i hold beta tests of map at set times (usually at 7 or 8 for 2 hours) to get the real jist of the gameplay, server is always full when map beta tests occur

Hazzard, could you do me a favor?

Since you seem to be able to compile and test maps without a problem, could you tell me your EXACT setup for Hammer and Batch Compiler?

If you would, could you e-mail me at Chip_trekie@msn.com


I can't remember where to find the setup, and I want to have a working set for when I cleanse the devil from my Hard Drive

r_speeds...?

Marine Start - Central Command

MS is nice, good to see some variation on the flooring.

The big blue decal is a bit weird. It looks good, but a bit out of place---I mean who would spraypaint such an easily-dirtied image on the floor? It would make more sense on a wall, or perhaps in a darker color and maybe a bit scratched up.

does that seam like a decal to you...

if i does it is NOT it is the logo of the station and the outer ring rotates rotates giving a nice efect and the center stands still

Cool, kinda hard to portray a moving logo with a static screenshot

Is is supposed to be a projection? Then some func_illusionaries would be nice.

looks good!
i like your brushwork, but the lights seem to come from nowhere. have you tried much texture lighting? i think especially your marine start and the white and yellow/black hallway would benefit from it especially.

oh yea, i think your logo is cool, especially imagining the rotating ring. but i agree with john's earlier statement that it looks out of place, perhaps an indentation in the floor or it behind glass? dunno,
nevertheless, keep up the good work.
